He is in my prayers and on our prayer chain at church. I will also keep his wife and children in my prayers!! It is very evident by reading his blog that he is very committed to his country!Lutheran Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13962609966223299833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9215722.post-1150045155012681832006-06-11T11:59:00.000-05:002006-06-11T11:59:00.000-05:00I think he considers it a calling - just like some...I think he considers it a calling - just like some are called to be pastors, it's something he feels he must do. He has a wife and two little kids at home. He says the work is very satisfying, something that will live on long after he leaves this world. He's in Baghdad until August. We are all called for a different "mission" in this life. The hardest part is to listen and hear from God what our mission is.<BR/><BR/>If you want to drop him a note, his blog (he posts occasionally from Baghdad - he can be a bit earthy at times) is jtiercel.blogspot.com or go to my blog and click on "Reflections within the theme" in my blog roll.Des_Moines_Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16566428252837843668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9215722.post-1150042726174789622006-06-11T11:18:00.000-05:002006-06-11T11:18:00.000-05:00God bless him.

I know that's just an excuse, I probably would have thought of another had I not had a family.Scottius Maximushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497918826005463738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9215722.post-1149990400848493082006-06-10T20:46:00.000-05:002006-06-10T20:46:00.000-05:00One of my best friends from high school is current...One of my best friends from high school is currently serving in Iraq.
